  1. Search file result should display path (e.g. in Info)

    You can search for files in GhostCommander by name pattern, using *.
    This is a very useful feature.

    When you search for files you get a list of files as result.
    In the result list, each file is displayed with name size and age.
    Each file has an Info context menu popup window that displays hashsums of the file, apart from repeating the name and the size.

    The Info popup does not display the path of the file.

    The only option to retrieve the path of a file (I found) is the copy name and paste into an editor.

  2. Set correct Timestamp on files copied to internal storage (in root mode, Android 7 and prior))

    Problem: on all Android versions 7 and prior that use FUSE, a well known bug exists that causes the timestamp on all files copied to internal storage to be set to current OS time. And it's not possible to change any file attributes without root privileges.

    Solution: on phones where root is present, explicitly set the timestamp on each copied file to that of the source file after each copy operation. This behavior would be consistent with pretty much every OS in existance. Ideally if possible this should be done universally on all copy operations as long as root is…

  3. Schduled task or automation

    Add automation features like scheduling tasking. For example, user can create a flow to copy files from device folder into network folder or cloud drive. This would help to backup photos quicker and automatically.

  4. I want to be able to stop people from hacking in backgrounds in phone

    I feel for the person that has been hacked nothing worse the having a new phone and someone else just using it for there on data or whatever the reason but it would be nice to just put something in the search bar and lock them to your phone but disable it. After 3 months I have thought how is this possible factory reset ass they you last password and then your done wants they have access to it.

  7. Dual-Screen support

    LG recently made some phones (V50, V60, G8X) that you can extend with a secondary display and view them side-by-side.
    Ghost Commander is a perfect example where this dual-screen setup could be useful.
    However the app needs to support this "wide-view" feature, otherwise it can only be displayed on one of the screens.

  9. Create a way for file conversion detection and automation. This could and would solve two major frustrations for end users.

    First, create a way to detect a playlist stored and owned by an end user. For example, If one had a playlist in the format of an m3u with movies and or television channels and or old home videos on it stored on their hard drive and Ghost Commander could recognize it, and then automate a process that could copy and then convert the playlist into a beautiful XMLTV file also known as an EPG..
    In the world of IoT and 5G, Wifi 6 and so much more...Imagine planning a family reunion where guests could enter and view the night's…

  10. Add support for Ed25519 keys on SFTP

    As some sites require Ed25519 keys, it would be nice if Ghost Commander's SFTP plugin adds support for this new algorithm.

  11. Improve ssh key exchange

    I've got my server locked down pretty tight for ssh key exchanges, since some of the older protocols have security issues. The SFTP plugin doesn't appear to support them. I get the following message and ghost commander just sits saying "wait..."

    My server says:
    sshd[31951]: Unable to negotiate with <ipaddress> port 40118: no matching key exchange method found. Their offer: diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha1,diffie-hellman-group14-sha1,diffie-hellman-group1-sha1 [preauth]

  14. I would like to use this app as a ringtone picker

    I need an app as a ringtone picker that can select system files because of a bug in the signal messenger on my smartphone. Other open source apps like the File Manager by simplemobiletools.com can do this but it cannot select system files.

  15. SQRL (Secure Quick Reliable Login) Support [No Passwords: Ever!!]

    SQRL is mostly combining well established cryptography in a novel way." The protocol is an answer to a problem of identity fragmentation . It improves on protocols such as OAuth and OpenID by not requiring a third party to broker the transaction, and by not giving a server any secrets to protect, such as username and password. Additionally, it provides a standard that can be freely used to simplify the login processes available to password manager applications.

  17. Buttons in bottom menu

    Make Buttons in bottom menu, not just texts.

    Currently the text menu has no clear separation, so can press other menu item accidentally.

    I suggest to make buttons in bottom menu.

  19. Calculate occupied space

    Midnight Commander, Total Commander for Android, Winscp has the features to calculate occupied space of listed directories.

    Although it is possible for local directories in Ghost Commander (select all and Info menu), but it doesn't have a dedicated button or menu item.
    I would suggest to have a dedicated button or menu item for this feature.

    Also this feature should also work for remote panel, for example an sftp directory.

    This would be a very useful feature.

  20. improve using more external sdcards

    Hi,
    I am not sure if this is the right place for a patch. It improves using more than one external sdcard (or otg flash disk). In the list on home screen you can see the block id of the partition and SAF can be used to access multiple partition at once. My use case is simply to copy files from otg flash disk to sdcard or vice versa. Could you, please, implement something like this?

    Thanks

    Pavel

    The patch is against the fdroid code for 1.56.4 version.
